Pull the lever and run away

Just pull the lever, and walk away.
You saved their lives, but they can’t shake hands when they’re still tied up.

I mean, I don’t think there’d be a lot of small talk. It’d be more like “thank you thank you, now let’s call the police”

Just because I stopped the trolley, doesn’t mean I’m going to untie them.

To bad they are all going to die.
